25 years of LEGO® Games

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first LEGO® video game ever released. We mark the date with the launch of a Bits N’ Bricks podcast
dedicated to unearthing and exploring the many facets of LEGO gaming, from unreleased projects to beloved masterpieces.
Bits N’ Bricks features the work of journalist Brian Crecente and documentarian Ethan Vincent, who were asked to dig into the LEGO Group’s
long, rich history in digital play and video games and create a podcast series to present what they found to the world.

Listen to the podcasts here on LEGO.com or your favorite podcast platforms.

Come back on Wednesdays for a new episode!
